tox 1.3: the virtualenv-based test run automatizer
===========================================================================
I am happy to announce tox 1.3, containing a few improvements
over 1.2. TOX automates tedious test activities driven from a
simple ``tox.ini`` file, including:
* creation and management of different virtualenv environments
with different Python interpreters
* packaging and installing your package into each of them
* running your test tool of choice, be it nose, py.test or unittest2 or
other tools such as "sphinx" doc checks
* testing dev packages against each other without needing to upload to PyPI
Docs and examples are at:
http://tox.testrun.org/
Installation:
pip install -U tox
code hosting and issue tracking on bitbucket:

best,
Holger Krekel
1.3
-----------------
- fix: allow to specify wildcard filesystem paths when
specifiying dependencies such that tox searches for
the highest version
- fix issue21: clear PIP_REQUIRES_VIRTUALENV which avoids
pip installing to the wrong environment, thanks to bb's streeter
- make the install step honour a testenv's setenv setting
(thanks Ralf Schmitt)
